The reason Europe is in the crisis it's in is precisely because European political class is owned by US and acts in the interest of US instead of its own people. US used Europe like a sacrificial pawn in its geopolitical games against Russia and now people in Europe get to pay the price. Europe could've had a friendly and mutually beneficial relationship with Russia after USSR collapsed in the 90s. Instead, Europe chose to act as a foot soldier for US.

People are protesting because their standard of living was predicated on having access to cheap energy from Russia. Propaganda is what you're doing by claiming it's anything other than this.

At the end of all this, Europe will have no choice but to bend the knee. Your demagogy is going to fall on deaf ears when people can't heat their homes or get enough food to eat.
